Pine Grove School

Q: Is Pine Grove School a good school?

Pine Grove School ranks 137 th of 497 Connecticut elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Pine Grove School is an elementary school serving students from kindergarten to 4th grade in Avon, Connecticut, which is part of the highly-ranked Avon School District. The school has a diverse student population that has become more racially diverse in recent years, with a decrease in the percentage of White students and an increase in the percentage of Asian students.

Pine Grove School has consistently performed well academically, with a higher percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the state average. In the 2023-2024 school year, 62.7% of 3rd graders and 72.6% of 4th graders were proficient or better in ELA, while 64.8% of 3rd graders and 68.5% of 4th graders were proficient or better in Mathematics. This strong academic performance has earned Pine Grove School a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and a statewide ranking in the top 30% of Connecticut elementary schools. However, the school's ranking for Asian students has been relatively low, suggesting a need to focus on addressing the needs of this student subgroup.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools, Pine Grove School generally performs well. For example, Roaring Brook School, another Avon elementary school, has a higher statewide ranking and a higher percentage of students proficient or better in ELA and Mathematics. However, Pine Grove School outperforms some of the other nearby schools, such as Lake Garda Elementary School and Reggio Magnet School of the Arts, which have lower statewide rankings and lower proficiency rates. Additionally, Pine Grove School has seen an increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting the school may be serving a more economically diverse population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
